Painting the house is a stand-in for having control over the building. You might not want to, but you might want to run ethernet or plant different plants or install a better dishwasher or any number of other options, which may or may not be possible depending on arrangement.

How would any of those other examples be prohibited in a dwelling that you own?

Look, I get it, you prefer a detached dwelling. But all the arguments you're making aren't compelling at all. It really sounds like it comes down to a preference thing for you.

Some duplex/townhome setups don't really let you do those things if they have something like a home owners agreement in place, which is sort of rare for detatched dwellings aside from some developments.
